(1) Based on representations made by the Shareholders (as defined below) pursuant to the Shareholder’s Agreements (as defined below). The 4,654,619 reported number of shares is comprised of (a) 3,702,239 shares of Common Stock subject to Shareholder’s Agreements and (b) 952,380 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below) subject to Shareholder’s Agreements. In addition, FNF (as defined below) could be deemed to have shared voting and dispostive power with respect to shares of Common Stock acquired by any shareholder after the date of the Shareholder’s Agreements and during the term of the Shareholder’s Agreements as of the date of the Shareholder’s Agreements.

(2) Under certain circumstances, Preferred Stock may be converted by holders thereof into Common Stock. In the event that all 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock were converted by holders thereof into Common Stock, 952,380 shares of Common Stock would be issued in conversion thereof (based on the conversion rate for the Preferred Stock of 9.52380 shares of Common Stock for one share of Preferred Stock). Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters in respect of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Subject to certain limitations, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes per share of Preferred Stock equal to the largest number of shares of Common Stock of which such Preferred Stock could be converted.

(3) Based on 21,635,296 shares of Common Stock, comprised of (a) 20,683,296 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 8, 2004, as represented by InterCept, Inc. in the Merger Agreement (as defined below) and (b) 952,380 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock subject to Shareholder’s Agreements.

 


 

         
CUSIP No. 45845L107   13D   Page 3 of 12

Item 1. Security and Issuer

     The class of equity securities to which this Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates is the common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) of InterCept, Inc. (“InterCept”). This Schedule 13D also relates to certain shares of Series B Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Preferred Stock”) of InterCept. The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock and is entitled to vote on all matters in respect of which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.

     InterCept is a Georgia corporation with its principal executive offices located at 3150 Holcomb Bridge Road, Suite 200, Norcross, Georgia. 30021.

Item 2. Identity and Background

     (a), (b), (c) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FNF”). FNF’s principal business and principal executive offices are located at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204. FNF is a holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in the business of issuing title insurance policies, performing other title and real estate related services and providing technology and processing services to financial institutions and the mortgage and financial services industries. Information regarding the directors and executive officers of FNF is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, which schedule is incorporated by reference herein.

     (d), (e) During the last five years, neither FNF nor, to the best knowledge of FNF, any person named in Schedule I, has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     Beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock which are the subject of this Schedule 13D may be deemed to have been acquired through the execution of Shareholder’s Agreements dated as of September 8, 2004, by and between (a) FNF and each of the following holders of Common Stock: Jonathan R. Coe, John W. Collins, L. Rand Fluitt, Farrell S. Mashburn, John D. Schneider, Jr., J. Daniel Speight, Glenn W. Sturm, Denise C. Saylor, Michael D. Sulpy and JANA Master Fund, Ltd., and (b) FNF and each of the following holders of the Preferred Stock: DLJ Capital Corporation, Sprout Entrepreneurs Fund, L.P., and Sprout Capital IX, L.P. (such persons described in clause (a) and (b), collectively, the “Shareholders”).

     The Shareholder’s Agreements were entered into to induce FNF to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 8, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), among FNF, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FNF (“FIS”), Fuscia Merger Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”) and InterCept. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will be merged with and into InterCept (the “Merger”). The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and Shareholder’s Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are included as Exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

     If the Merger is consummated, holders of Common Stock (including holders of Common Stock subject to Shareholder’s Agreements) will receive $18.90 per share of Common Stock. FNF has the option to pay the aggregate consideration in all cash or in a combination of cash and FNF stock. If FNF

 


 

         
CUSIP No. 45845L107   13D   Page 4 of 12

elects the stock and cash consideration option, holders of Common Stock will have the option to elect any combination of cash and stock, subject to proration such that the overall limitation for the consideration in the transaction will be seventy-five percent cash compensation and twenty-five percent compensation in the form of FNF stock. Any FNF stock consideration will be calculated using a trailing ten-day average calculated one day prior to the closing of the transaction.

     Pursuant to the Shareholder’s Agreements, each Shareholder granted to FNF an irrevocable option to purchase the Shareholder’s holdings of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case under circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated and a termination fee would or may become payable to FNF. In the event that FNF exercises any options pursuant to the Shareholder’s Agreements, the funds required to pay the exercise price are expected to be paid from FNF’s available cash and working capital.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into InterCept, with InterCept continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation (except that the name of the corporation will be changed to “InterCept, Inc.”) and the by-laws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the by-laws of the surviving corporation. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, shares of Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration as described above.

     Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, FNF entered into Shareholder’s Agreements with each of the Shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholder’s Agreements, each of the Shareholders has granted an irrevocable proxy to FNF to vote their shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any action or agreement that is contrary to the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Common Stock, voting as a separate group, and the approval of a majority of all of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Merger, voting as a single group.

     Under the Shareholder’s Agreements, each of the Shareholders granted to FNF an option to purchase the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock with respect to which the Shareholder has beneficial ownership or the power of disposition (such shares, the “Option Shares”) in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which a termination fee would or may become payable to FNF pursuant to the Merger Agreement (a “Qualifying Termination”). In the case of options relating to Common Stock, the exercise price of such options is $18.90 per share of Common Stock and in the case of options relating to Preferred Stock, the exercise price is $180.00 per share of Preferred Stock, in each case payable in cash. In addition to paying the exercise price with respect to the exercise of any option, FNF has also agreed to pay an amount equal to 50% of the profit realized by FNF on any Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) which is consummated, or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into, within 12 months following the applicable Qualifying Termination. In lieu of exercising its option to purchase Option Shares, FNF may elect in the event of a Qualifying Termination to cause the Shareholder to pay to FNF an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated, or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into, within 12 months of such Qualifying Termination.

     Upon consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ National Market, and the Common Stock will become eligible for

 


 

         
CUSIP No. 45845L107   13D   Page 5 of 12

termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Shareholder’s Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Shareholder’s Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     FNF may be deemed to beneficially own 4,654,619 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (a) 3,702,239 shares of Common Stock directly subject to Shareholder’s Agreements and (b) 952,380 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock subject to Shareholder’s Agreements. Pursuant to the Shareholder’s Agreements, Shareholders have given FNF a proxy to vote their shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any action or agreement that is contrary to the Merger Agreement and have granted FNF an option to purchase their shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in certain circumstances. As a result, FNF may be deemed to have voting power with respect to the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock covered by the Shareholder’s Agreements.

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by FNF constitutes approximately 21.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on (a) 20,683,296 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 8, 2004, as represented by InterCept in the Merger Agreement, and (b) 952,380 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock subject to Shareholder’s Agreements.

     Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by FNF that it is the beneficial owner of any Common Stock or Preferred Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13d of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

     Other than as set forth in this Item 5, there have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock effected during the past 60 days by FNF, nor to the knowledge of FNF, by any person listed on Schedule I hereto.

     No other person is known by FNF to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock or Preferred Stock referred to herein.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D and the Exhibits to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

     In connection with the Merger Agreement, JANA Master Fund LTD. and JANA Partners, LLC (collectively, the “JANA Parties”) entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the JANA Parties agreed to the termination, effective as of the effective time of the Merger, of certain provisions in the Settlement Agreement dated as of June 11, 2004, among the JANA Parties and InterCept. FNF is designated as a third party beneficiary of the letter agreement. The Settlement Agreement is included as an Exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

     In connection with the Merger, FNF, FIS and InterCept entered into a Non-Competition Agreement with John Collins, InterCept’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the “Non-Compete Agreement”). Under the Non-Compete Agreement, Mr. Collins has agreed not to solicit certain

employees, customers and business or enter into or engage in certain competing activities. The term of the Non-Compete Agreement is three years beginning on the date the Merger is consummated.

R E C I T A L S WHEREAS, FNF and InterCept and certain subsidiaries of FNF propose to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF will merge with and into InterCept; WHEREAS, Shareholder will receive a significant economic benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; WHEREAS, without Shareholder's agreement to enter into and be bound by this Agreement, FNF would not be willing to enter into the Merger Agreement; WHEREAS, InterCept is in the business of developing and marketing the following products and services: core data processing, check processing and imaging, electronic funds transfer, debit card processing and data communications for the banking industry (the "Company's Business"); and WHEREAS, FNF and Shareholder recognize that the application of Shareholder's experience, knowledge and abilities to the business of a competitor would cause irreparable damage to the Companies and to the value sought to be obtained in the Merger. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Companies and Shareholder, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows. A G R E E M E N T 1. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement is consummated (the "Commencement Date") and end three years thereafter. 2. COMPENSATION. Shareholder has agreed to forego substantial business opportunities under this Agreement. In order to compensate Shareholder for the restrictions herein, Shareholder shall receive from FNF the sum of $2,100,000.00 payable as of the Commencement Date. 3. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION. Unless Shareholder receives an advance written waiver as described in Section 4.2 below, for a period ending three years after the Commencement Date, Shareholder shall not, either directly or indirectly through a third party, either on Shareholder's own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity, engage in or assist others in the following activities: 3.1 Soliciting, recruiting or hiring to work any person who is employed at the time of such solicitation, recruitment or hiring by a Company or any of its subsidiaries, or who was employed by a Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the preceding 12 months, except (i) any person whose employment has been terminated may be solicited after the date that is 90 days after the date of such termination to work in any business that does not constitute the Company's Business and (ii) Mr. Collins' assistant April Barwick; 3.2 Soliciting, diverting or appropriating any business of any of the types constituting the Company's Business from any of the Customers or Prospective Customers with which Shareholder has had Material Contact during Shareholder's employment with InterCept or any of its subsidiaries. For the purposes of this provision, "Material Contact" shall mean: (i) contact between Shareholder and such Customer or Prospective Customer in an effort to further the Company's Business; or (ii) supervision/management of contact between subordinate employees and such Customer or Prospective Customer. For purposes of this provision, "Customers" shall mean persons or entities that are either currently doing business with InterCept or any of its subsidiaries as of the Commencement Date or to which InterCept or any of its subsidiaries provided services during the 12 month period prior to the Commencement Date, and "Prospective Customers" shall mean persons or entities from which InterCept or any of its subsidiaries actively solicited business within the six month period preceding the Commencement Date; and 3.3 Entering into or engaging in any activity which competes with the Company's Business, in any country where a Company or any of its subsidiaries conducts the Company's Business except as set forth on Exhibit "A" hereto. In addition to the matters set forth on Exhibit "A," this provision shall not restrict Shareholder from owning a passive investment interest of less than 5% of the outstanding equity ownership or shares in an organization represented by securities publicly traded on a recognized national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System. 4. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. 4.1 The parties to this Agreement recognize that irreparable harm would result from any breach by Shareholder of Section 3 of this Agreement and that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate relief for any such breach. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to a Company, if Shareholder breaches a restrictive covenant in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that injunctive relief in favor of the Companies is proper. 4.2 A waiver of any of Shareholder's obligations under this Agreement shall be ineffective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the Chairman of the Board of FNF. 4.3 If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions in this Agreement are overbroad, the parties agree that such term shall be deemed modified to permit enforcement to the maximum extent allowed by law. 4.4 If Shareholder breaches any of Shareholder's covenants in Section 3 of this Agreement, the period following the Commencement Date during which such covenant is in 2 effect shall be extended by the period of time between Shareholder's breach and the date a court of competent jurisdiction enters an injunction restraining further breach of the covenant. 5. NO GROSS-UP PAYMENTS. The Companies and Shareholder acknowledge and agree that they believe the payment made pursuant to this Agreement to be reasonable compensation to Shareholder for complying with the restrictive covenants contained herein after the Commencement Date and, even if it is finally determined that any portion of the payment hereunder is a "parachute payment" (as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), shall not be considered a "parachute payment" for purposes of this Agreement or any other contract, agreement, arrangement or plan of or with any of the Companies or any entity affiliated with any of the companies, including but not limited to the Employment Agreement dated the 30th day of January 1998 by and between the Shareholder and InterCept as such may be amended or extended (the "Employment Agreement"). The payments hereunder shall not be considered for purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment (as defined in the Employment Agreement), if any, under Section 4g of the Employment Agreement (or any similar provision of any other contract, agreement, arrangement or plan). For instance, should the total amount of payments and benefits under the Employment Agreement or otherwise not result in a payment pursuant to Section 4g thereof without the inclusion of the payments hereunder, no Gross-Up Payment shall be due pursuant to such Section 4g. The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that this provision modifies Section 4g of the Employment Agreement and such modification complies with the provisions of Section 11 of the Employment Agreement. 6. SUCCESSORS. Each Company's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon such Company's successors and assigns. Any successor or assignee of a Company is authorized to enforce the restrictive covenants herein as if the name of such successor or assignee replaced such Company throughout this Agreement. 7. MISCELLANEOUS. 7.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 7.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with any employment agreements, change of control agreements or other agreements containing any nonsolicitation or noncompetition covenants, entered into by the Shareholder with any of the Companies prior to or after the Commencement Date, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter between Shareholder and any Company. This Agreement and such other agreements set forth separate and independent noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants and shall not be deemed to limit each other in any way. Shareholder agrees that all of the Shareholder's registration rights set forth in Shareholder's Employment Agreement, dated as of January 30, 1998, shall terminate as of the Commencement Date. 7.3 AMENDMENTS. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless made in writing signed by Shareholder and by the Chairman of the Board of FNF. 3 7.4 NO WAIVER. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived nor shall there be any estoppel to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in writing signed by Shareholder or by the Chairman of the Board of FNF, as applicable. Any written waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived. 7.5 SEVERABILITY. Subject to Section 4.3, to the extent any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. COUNTERPART EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 4 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1 ARTICLE I. TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES Section 1.1. Transfer of Shares. The Shareholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (including by gift) any or all of the Shareholder's Shares or any interest in such Shares, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) deposit any Shares or any interest in such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect thereto (other than as contemplated hereunder), or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, option or other arrangement or undertaking (other than the Merger Agreement) with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (each of the above, a "TRANSFER"); provided, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Share Liens otherwise permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder shall be permitted to exercise options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (any shares so acquired, the "Option Common Stock"). In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Transfer of Shares in connection with the terms of any Share Indebtedness nor the Transfer of Option Common Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 1.1 (such Transfers referred to herein as the "PERMITTED TRANSFERS"). Section 1.2. Vote in Favor of Merger. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4.12), and subject to the Proxy (hereinafter defined) granted to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.3 hereof and the right of Parent to vote the Shares pursuant thereto, the Shareholder (solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company and without limiting any action that the Shareholder might take as an officer of the Company (including at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company) or a director of the Company or as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (including voting on any matter), other than any such limits as are imposed by the Merger Agreement) agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares that Shareholder has the power to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, in each case to the extent that such matter is presented for shareholder approval: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company's or Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Section 1.3. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy with respect to the Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "PROXY"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. 2 ARTICLE II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: Section 2.1. Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has all legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT"). Section 2.3. Title to Shares. The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times until termination of this Agreement and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of the Merger as if made on that date. ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I. TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES Section 1.1. Transfer of Shares. The Shareholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (including by gift) any or all of the Shareholder's Shares or any interest in such Shares, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) deposit any Shares or any interest in such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect thereto (other than as contemplated hereunder), or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, 1 option or other arrangement or undertaking (other than the Merger Agreement) with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (each of the above, a "TRANSFER"); provided, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Share Liens otherwise permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder shall be permitted to exercise options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (any shares so acquired, the "Option Common Stock"). In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Transfer of Shares in connection with the terms of any Share Indebtedness nor the Transfer of Option Common Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 1.1 (such Transfers referred to herein as the "PERMITTED TRANSFERS"). Section 1.2. Vote in Favor of Merger. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4.12), and subject to the Proxy (hereinafter defined) granted to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.3 hereof and the right of Parent to vote the Shares pursuant thereto, the Shareholder (solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company and without limiting any action that the Shareholder might take as an officer of the Company (including at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company) or a director of the Company or as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (including voting on any matter), other than any such limits as are imposed by the Merger Agreement) agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares that Shareholder has the power to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, in each case to the extent that such matter is presented for shareholder approval: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company's or Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Section 1.3. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy with respect to the Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "PROXY"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. ARTICLE II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: Section 2.1. Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has all legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly 2 and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT"). Section 2.3. Title to Shares. The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Company Common Stock, including 3 options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times until termination of this Agreement and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of the Merger as if made on that date. ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating 4 thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other 5 stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an 6 amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent.

There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination.

This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations.

ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights.

Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

The shares of Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction.

Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement.

Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration.

This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

The shares of Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement.

The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien.

There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating 4 thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other 5 stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an 6 amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. 7 Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that he shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. The Shareholder agrees that he will not create any Share Lien after the date hereof in favor of any Person which, individually or as part of a group, intends to make or has made a proposal or offer in respect of a Competing Transaction. The Shareholder further agrees that, within one Business Day after receiving any Option Notice, he shall identify all Lien Holders and the amounts of all Share Indebtedness so that Parent may repay all such Share Indebtedness upon the Option Closing Date, with a corresponding reduction in the Exercise Price payable to the Shareholder. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration.

Other than this Agreement, the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement 3 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares).

From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the 4 Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent 5 will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire 6 transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction 7 in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly 2 and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT").

ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor, in case the Shareholder is a corporation or other entity, shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating 4 thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.3, a Shareholder who is also a director or officer of the Company may take any action in his capacity as such (including complying with or exercising his fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as is not limited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share equal to $18.90 (the "EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other 5 stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in the amount of the Exercise Price times the number of Option Shares. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an 6 amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in consideration of the Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder (either directly or with respect to repayment of Share Indebtedness) in respect of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the Exercise Price times the aggregate number of Shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder as referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.7(f)(ii). (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. 7 Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder, acting solely in such Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that he shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. The Shareholder agrees that he will not create any Share Lien after the date hereof in favor of any Person which, individually or as part of a group, intends to make or has made a proposal or offer in respect of a Competing Transaction. The Shareholder further agrees that, within one Business Day after receiving any Option Notice, he shall identify all Lien Holders and the amounts of all Share Indebtedness so that Parent may repay all such Share Indebtedness upon the Option Closing Date, with a corresponding reduction in the Exercise Price payable to the Shareholder. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration.

The Shareholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (including by gift) any or all of the Shareholder's Shares or any interest in such Shares, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) deposit any Shares or any interest in such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect 1 thereto (other than as contemplated hereunder), or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, option or other arrangement or undertaking (other than the Merger Agreement) with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (each of the above, a "TRANSFER"); provided, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Share Liens otherwise permitted hereunder. Shareholder agrees that prior to the Effective Time it will convert its shares of the Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, which it will surrender following the Effective Time in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Transfer of Shares in connection with the terms of any Share Indebtedness shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 1.1 (such Transfers referred to herein as the "PERMITTED TRANSFERS"). Section 1.2. Vote in Favor of Merger. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4.12), and subject to the Proxy (hereinafter defined) granted to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.3 hereof and the right of Parent to vote the Shares pursuant thereto, the Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares that Shareholder has the power to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, in each case to the extent that such matter is presented for shareholder approval: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company's or Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Shareholder acknowledges hereby that pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Limitations, and Relative Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Certificate of Designations"), its vote in favor of the Merger and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not required. Section 1.3. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy with respect to the Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "PROXY"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. ARTICLE II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: Section 2.1. Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has all legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding 2 obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement and other than as provided in the Certificate of Designations or in the Exchange Agreement dated June 23, 2004, among the Shareholder, the Company and certain affiliates of the Shareholder (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT"). (c) The Shareholder acknowledges that, upon the Effective Time, all of its rights under (i) the Exchange Agreement with the Company dated June 23, 2004 and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement with the Company dated September 16, 2003, as amended by an amendment thereto dated June 23, 2004, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, 3 since it will no longer be the owner of any Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock. Section 2.3. Title to Shares. The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than the right of first refusal contained in the Exchange Agreement and any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens shall impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times until termination of this Agreement and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of the Merger as if made on that date. ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 3.1 shall in no event require the Shareholder to convert the Preferred Stock to Company Common Stock until immediately prior to and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, partners or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its partners or Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that 4 reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares (excluding those transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share of Preferred Stock equal to $180.00 (the "PREFERRED STOCK EXERCISE PRICE") and at a purchase price per share of Company Common Stock equal to $18.90 (the "COMMON STOCK EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Preferred Stock 5 Exercise Price and the Common Stock Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. 6 (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder in consideration of the Option Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the Fair Market Value, on the date of disposition, of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock disposed of and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder. (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. 7 (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I. TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES Section 1.1. Transfer of Shares. The Shareholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (including by gift) any or all of the Shareholder's Shares or any interest in such Shares, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) deposit any Shares or any interest in such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect 1 thereto (other than as contemplated hereunder), or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, option or other arrangement or undertaking (other than the Merger Agreement) with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (each of the above, a "TRANSFER"); provided, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Share Liens otherwise permitted hereunder. Shareholder agrees that prior to the Effective Time it will convert its shares of the Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, which it will surrender following the Effective Time in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Transfer of Shares in connection with the terms of any Share Indebtedness shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 1.1 (such Transfers referred to herein as the "PERMITTED TRANSFERS"). Section 1.2. Vote in Favor of Merger. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4.12), and subject to the Proxy (hereinafter defined) granted to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.3 hereof and the right of Parent to vote the Shares pursuant thereto, the Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares that Shareholder has the power to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, in each case to the extent that such matter is presented for shareholder approval: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company's or Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Shareholder acknowledges hereby that pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Limitations, and Relative Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Certificate of Designations"), its vote in favor of the Merger and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not required. Section 1.3. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy with respect to the Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "PROXY"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. ARTICLE II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: Section 2.1. Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has all legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding 2 obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement and other than as provided in the Certificate of Designations or in the Exchange Agreement dated June 23, 2004, among the Shareholder, the Company and certain affiliates of the Shareholder (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT"). (c) The Shareholder acknowledges that, upon the Effective Time, all of its rights under (i) the Exchange Agreement with the Company dated June 23, 2004 and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement with the Company dated September 16, 2003, as amended by an amendment thereto dated June 23, 2004, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, 3 since it will no longer be the owner of any Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock. Section 2.3. Title to Shares. The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than the right of first refusal contained in the Exchange Agreement and any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens shall impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times until termination of this Agreement and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of the Merger as if made on that date. ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 3.1 shall in no event require the Shareholder to convert the Preferred Stock to Company Common Stock until immediately prior to and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, partners or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its partners or Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that 4 reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares (excluding those transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share of Preferred Stock equal to $180.00 (the "PREFERRED STOCK EXERCISE PRICE") and at a purchase price per share of Company Common Stock equal to $18.90 (the "COMMON STOCK EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Preferred Stock 5 Exercise Price and the Common Stock Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. 6 (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder in consideration of the Option Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the Fair Market Value, on the date of disposition, of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock disposed of and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder. (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. 7 (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a party) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses; provided, however, that the Company may pay or reimburse the Shareholder for such costs and expenses of the Shareholder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I. TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES Section 1.1. Transfer of Shares. The Shareholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (including by gift) any or all of the Shareholder's Shares or any interest in such Shares, except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) deposit any Shares or any interest in such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect 1 thereto (other than as contemplated hereunder), or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, option or other arrangement or undertaking (other than the Merger Agreement) with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (each of the above, a "TRANSFER"); provided, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Share Liens otherwise permitted hereunder. Shareholder agrees that prior to the Effective Time it will convert its shares of the Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, which it will surrender following the Effective Time in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Transfer of Shares in connection with the terms of any Share Indebtedness shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 1.1 (such Transfers referred to herein as the "PERMITTED TRANSFERS"). Section 1.2. Vote in Favor of Merger. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 4.12), and subject to the Proxy (hereinafter defined) granted to Parent as contemplated by Section 1.3 hereof and the right of Parent to vote the Shares pursuant thereto, the Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares that Shareholder has the power to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, in each case to the extent that such matter is presented for shareholder approval: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company's or Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Shareholder acknowledges hereby that pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Limitations, and Relative Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Certificate of Designations"), its vote in favor of the Merger and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not required. Section 1.3. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy with respect to the Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "PROXY"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. ARTICLE II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: Section 2.1. Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has all legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding 2 obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Section 2.2. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Shareholder or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected, (ii) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement, trust agreement or other equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder (if any), or (iii) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the material property or assets of the Shareholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder's material properties is bound or affected. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the grant of the Proxy to Parent by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification by the Shareholder to, any third party or any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, could not prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Other than this Agreement and other than as provided in the Certificate of Designations or in the Exchange Agreement dated June 23, 2004, among the Shareholder, the Company and certain affiliates of the Shareholder (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Shareholder does not have any understanding in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any Shares. The Shareholder is not required to make any filing with or notify any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby pursuant to the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act"). (c) The Shareholder acknowledges that, upon the Effective Time, all of its rights under (i) the Exchange Agreement with the Company dated June 23, 2004 and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement with the Company dated September 16, 2003, as amended by an amendment thereto dated June 23, 2004, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, 3 since it will no longer be the owner of any Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock. Section 2.3. Title to Shares. The Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, proxies or voting restrictions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Proxy and other than the right of first refusal contained in the Exchange Agreement and any Share Liens otherwise permitted under the terms hereof (none of which Share Liens shall impose any limit on the right of the Shareholder to vote or grant a proxy with respect to the Shares). The shares of Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock, including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such stock, set forth on the signature page hereto, are all the securities of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Section 2.4. Accuracy of Representations. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times until termination of this Agreement and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of the Merger as if made on that date. ARTICLE III. COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER Section 3.1. Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Shareholder shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, proxies, consents, waivers and other instruments, and shall (at the Shareholder's sole expense) take such further actions, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 3.1 shall in no event require the Shareholder to convert the Preferred Stock to Company Common Stock until immediately prior to and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time. Section 3.2. Legending of Shares. If requested by Parent, the Shareholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the Proxy in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not request the Company to register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Section 3.3. No Solicitation of Transactions. The Shareholder agrees that from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, partners or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its partners or Subsidiaries (collectively, the "REPRESENTATIVES") to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage (including by means of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or that 4 reasonably may be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for, any Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person or entity in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction, other than with Parent or an affiliate of Parent. The Shareholder shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact, constituting or regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, including the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact, and, if in writing, promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a copy of such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and any other written material reasonably relating thereto. The Shareholder immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. Section 3.4. Disclosure. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to permit the other party hereto to publish and disclose in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), and in any press release or other disclosure document in which it reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure is required by law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or appropriate, in connection with the Merger and any transactions related thereto, the identity of the Shareholder and Parent and the Shareholder's ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder's or Parent's, as the case may be, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. The Shareholder and Parent each agrees to provide a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure proposed by the other. Section 3.5. Public Announcement. The Shareholder, solely in the Shareholder's capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees to not make any public announcement in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as required by applicable law. Section 3.6. Additional Shares. In the event that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares, such Shares shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Proxy, and the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto and thereto will be deemed amended accordingly. The Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of any such event. Section 3.7. Grant of Option. (a) The Shareholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "OPTION") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares (excluding those transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) with respect to which the Shareholder has the power of disposition (the "OPTION SHARES") at a purchase price per share of Preferred Stock equal to $180.00 (the "PREFERRED STOCK EXERCISE PRICE") and at a purchase price per share of Company Common Stock equal to $18.90 (the "COMMON STOCK EXERCISE PRICE"), in the manner set forth in this Section 3.7, with such price proportionately adjusted to give effect to future splits, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations (whether by merger or otherwise, other than the Merger itself) or similar transactions occurring with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Company Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. In addition to the Preferred Stock 5 Exercise Price and the Common Stock Exercise Price, in the event of any exercise of the Option, Parent will pay the Shareholder an amount equal to 50% of the profit of Parent realized on the Option Shares from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months after the applicable Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by Parent of the consideration paid to Parent pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. Such profit shall be calculated in the manner described for calculation of the profit of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3.7(f), with all references in Section 3.7(f)(ii) to the Shareholder to be deemed references to Parent. For purposes of such calculation, in the event that (i) Parent has also acquired shares of Company Common Stock from any other stockholder of the Company under an agreement comparable to this Agreement ("Other Shares") and (ii) Parent sells the Option Shares and Other Shares in more than one transaction, then in each such sale Parent shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of the total Option Shares and Other Shares owned by Parent. (b) Parent or its designee may exercise the Option in whole and not in part, at any time after the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Termination Fee is or may become payable to Parent (a "QUALIFYING TERMINATION") and prior to the date that is 10 business days after such termination (the "OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD"). (c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent must give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE," with the date of the Option Notice being hereinafter called the "NOTICE DATE") to the Shareholder during the Option Exercise Period that it will purchase the Option Shares pursuant to the Option. The Option Notice shall specify a place (which, if the Shareholder is then an officer or director of the Company, shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) and a date (the "OPTION CLOSING DATE") (not later than 10 business days from the Notice Date subject to extension as set forth below) for closing such purchase (a "CLOSING"). Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, and the Shareholder's obligation to sell the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option, is subject (at the election of each of Parent or Shareholder) to the conditions that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase of the Option Shares issued by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction shall be in effect (and no action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been commenced or threatened for purposes of obtaining such injunction or order) and (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. If there shall be in effect any such injunction or order or all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated, in each case on the Option Closing Date specified in the Option Notice, then at Parent's election, the Option Closing Date may be extended until the later of (i) 10 business days after the Option Closing Date so specified or (ii) the earlier of (A) three business days after expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods or (B) 60 calendar days after the Notice Date. Parent's obligation to purchase the Option Shares upon any exercise of the Option is further subject (at Parent's election) to the condition that there shall have been no material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement which is not known by Parent at or prior to its exercise of the Option. 6 (d) At any Closing, (i) the Shareholder will deliver to Parent the certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares in proper form for transfer upon exercise of the Option and (ii) Parent shall pay the aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts, which account or accounts shall be designated in writing to Parent within five days after receipt of the Option Notice, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased. (e) The Shareholder has granted the Option to Parent in order to induce Parent to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (f) (i) As an alternative to Parent's exercise of the Option, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, at Parent's election, the Shareholder shall pay to Parent on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of the Shareholder from the consummation of any Competing Transaction that is consummated or with respect to which a definitive agreement is entered into within 12 months of such termination. Such payment shall be made within 2 business days of the receipt by the Shareholder of the consideration paid to the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of such Competing Transaction. To exercise its rights under this Section 3.7(f), Parent's demand must be made within 10 business days following the consummation of such Competing Transaction. (ii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the profit of the Shareholder from any Competing Transaction shall equal (a) the aggregate consideration received by the Shareholder in consideration of the Option Shares pursuant to such Competing Transaction, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest in the Company) at its Fair Market Value (defined below in Section 3.7(f)(iii)) on the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction plus (b) the Fair Market Value, on the date of disposition, of all Shares the Shareholder disposed of after the termination of the Merger Agreement and prior to the date of consummation of such Competing Transaction less (c) the sum of (i) the Preferred Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock disposed of and (ii) the Common Stock Exercise Price times the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock disposed of by the Shareholder. (iii) For purposes of this Section 3.7(f), the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration consisting of: (a) securities listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ/NMS shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ/NMS for the five trading days after the date of determination; and (b) consideration which is other than cash or securities in clause (a) above shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the parties within 10 business days of the event requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree within two business days after the date of such event as to the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm, and those firms shall select a third investment banking firm, which third firm shall make such determination. 7 (iv) Any payment of profit under this Section 3.7(f) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.7 to the contrary, in the event that Parent or the Shareholder receives consideration pursuant to a Competing Transaction in respect of the Option Shares other than in cash, then any payment of profit required to be made under this Section 3.7 by Parent or the Shareholder may be made, at the option of the payor, using the form of consideration so received; provided that if more than one form of consideration is received by the payor pursuant to a Competing Transaction, any payment of profit (other than a payment entirely in cash) shall be made in the respective proportions in which such forms of consideration were received by the payor pursuant to the Competing Transaction. Section 3.8. No Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder hereby consents to and approves the actions taken by the Company's board of directors in approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenter's rights under Section 1302 of the GBCC in connection with the Merger. Section 3.9. Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the amount of Share Indebtedness in respect of any Shares exceed 40% of the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Share Indebtedness. The Shareholder further agrees that such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to remain in compliance with the terms of any Share Indebtedness and avoid the foreclosure of any Share Lien. ARTICLE IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Payment of Merger Consideration. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is due and owing to the Shareholder as a result of the Merger will be paid and delivered to the Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Parent and Merger Sub understand and acknowledge that the Shareholder is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon the foregoing agreement. Section 4.2. Entire Agreement.

All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a party) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses; provided, however, that the Company may pay or reimburse the Shareholder for such costs and expenses of the Shareholder.
